Conflicting Reports Concerning the
TrOuble-Cubans Discredit 1t.
New YORK. Aug. 3O.-Cubans in this city
do not think there is any far-reaching or in
any sense an important uprising in Havana
j. M. Ceballos, of the Spanish Trans-Atlan-
tic Company, says that one of his steam
ships left that city on the 24th and on that
date there was no trouble there The
populace was aware that acting Governor
General Marinin was determined to deal
with the corrupt employees of the
custom-house after the most summary
fashion, and the chief dissatisfaction
existed among those persons and such
merchants as have profted by the
Illicit Importation of goods. The volunteer
soldiery of Cuba is almost exclusively COM
posed of native Spaniards, who are in har-
mony with the policy of the Government.
When General Marinin seized the stores in
the Duana many persons who were incom-
NODDED and indignant at not receiving their
property may have melted few persons to
riot, but the disturbance can be i'll no sense
important
Edward Molina, former editor of Eg Cron-
'iista and at present secretary of the Spanish
Chamber of Commerce in this city, was
equally incredulous. He declared that the
published dispatch from Key West was alb
surdly false
Captain Faircloth, of the steamship Glen
fuegos, who arrived in port yesterday, said
that when his ship left Havana on the Doth
affairs were in an exceedingly turbulent
state He was not surprised to hear that
the feeling against General Marinin had al
ready eliminated in serious riotous dem
onstration.

take the place, in course of time, of the
ordinary mining safety lamps. A
portable electric lamp can now be

ures: Weight, about three pounds; il
Eliminating power, five candles; size
and shape, Similar to present lamps;
duration of light, ten hours; cost of re-
pairs, charges of battery and materials,
two cents for ten hours; these facts
showing that there is nothing to pre-
vent its adoption as a substitute for the
present lamps, and even for candles in
many mines where they are still in use.
